Record of age in bible

Michael FULP was born on Apr 17, 1755 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He moved to Surry Co., NC and later served in the military in 1776. He enlisted and served as a private with the North Carolina troops as follows: in 1776, four months in Captain William Dobson's Company in Colonel Joseph Williams' Regiment on an expedition against the Cherokee Indians; from July, 1781, three months in Captain David Humphreys' Company in Colonel James Martin's Regiment. He was allowed pension on his application executed March 15, 1833, at which time he was living in Stokes County, which was formerly a part of Surry County, North Carolina. His military papers state that he was the brother of soldier, Peter Fulp.

Michael Fulp appeared on the census in 1790 in Stokes County, North Carolina with four males under 16; five females and no slaves. He appeared on the census in 1800, 1810 and 1820, in Stokes County, North Carolina.

He was married to Phebe SCOTT on 20 Aug 1777 in Surry County, North Carolina. They were married at the home of Baptist Minister, Rev. William Hill, in Surry County, NC. Phebe SCOTT was born on 24 Oct 1758. She was allowed Michael's Rev. War Pension on 13 Dec 1838 in Stokes County, North Carolina.

Michael and Phebe Fulp had the following children:

George
Jeny (Jane)
Phebe
Sally
Solomon
Elizabeth
Peter
Mary (Polly)
Anna
Michael
Abigail
Valentine

Phebe Scott Fulp died in Aug 1840 in Stokes County, North Carolina. Michael Fulp died on 7 May 1836 in Stokes County, North Carolina. Like his father, George, Michael was a farmer. He owned about 200 acres of land when he died.

Phebe's pension application confirms 12 children with names and ages for most.

Phebe (nee Scott), w/o Michael, lists all of their children in her
statement dated Nov 1839. She submitted her prayer book as documentation.
They had a son Solomon born Oct 25, 1788. Both Solomon and his older
brother Valentine (born March 1, 1780) removed to Claiborne CO TN about the
same time. They are found there living near each other in the various
records.

Michael married Phebe SCOTT on 20 Aug 1777 in Townfork, Surry Co, NC (Now Stokes Co). Phebe (daughter of Walter Neal SCOTT and BarbraJean BANKS) was born on 24 Aug 1758; died on 13 Dec 1838. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Richard Fulp's family group sheet for Peter Fulp shows b/d dates for Phebe as 1758-1840

Notes:

Georg Crafft Volp's 1754 Probate record in Germany shows that one son was Georg Crafft Volp who had gone to America. Our Georg Crafft Volp arrived in America in 1751 and eventually changed his name and his family's last name to George Fulp. His wife Maria Magdalina must have been known as Mary because that is how it is shown in George's Last will and Testament..

George married Maria Magdalena GULDIG in 1752. Maria (daughter of Georg GULDIG) was born about 1718 in Germany; died in abt. 1800 in Stokes County, NC. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Walter married BarbraJean BANKS. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
